Austin Weekend

We went to Austin for the weekend and I have to say, it was about time! Yesterday we celebrated Ariah's 1st birthday, with an awesome BBQ spread at Josh and Jen's house. Then it was off to Georgetown, just north of Austin for the Poppy Festival and some live music. For you country fans, we saw Little Texas play, they were popular in the 90's and you may know their biggest hit, "God Bless Texas". It was so much fun! We brought our chairs and hung out with Cameron and Sara while Ryann and Ella danced the night away with their glow rings.
Georgetown is the quaintest little town, lots of cute stores, gorgeous old homes on tree lined boulevards, the exact look and feel of a small country town in every movie you've ever seen about quiet small town America. Cowboy hats, girls in sundresses, kids running around the festival grounds, families eating popcorn and cotton candy... I love Georgetown :)

Today, we met up with Cameron and Sara again, and they showed us around Austin. It is a fabulous city with a totally different vibe than San Antonio. It is very trendy, college town, lots to do, lots of culture and it reminded me of Victoria in so many ways. We believe the hype and yes, if you're going to live in Texas, Austin is the place to be... what a great city!! We had lunch at the Hula Hut, on the lake, complete with a boat dock...we drove, but many chose to come for lunch by boat - fabulous!
